"The life of Sr Henry Wotton, late provost of Eaton College", "The life of Mr. Rich. Hooker, the author of those learned books of the laws of ecclesiastical polity", "The life of Mr. George Herbert", and "Letters written by Mr. George Herbert, at his being in Cambridge: with others to his mother, the Lady Magdalen Herbert; written by John Donne, afterwards Dean of St. Pauls" each have separate dated title page; pagination and register are continuous

Although the lives of Donne, Hooker, and Herbert were each also published in separate editions, the life of Wotton appears not to have been.
